U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided April 27, 2007
229 F. App'x 662

Sanchez-Cazarez v. Gonzales

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Efrain Sanchez-Cazarez seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen proceedings. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Sanchez-Cazarez’s motion to reopen, because the BIA considered the evidence he submitted and acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence was insufficient to warrant reopening. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (The BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed only if it is “arbitrary, irrational or contrary to law.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
